Hi,
I am new to both the world of linux and NS2 (due to my uni project).
Im having problems installing the program NS2. After ive installed it , it asks to do the following :-

Please put
/usr/src/ns-allinone-2.27/bin:/usr/src/ns-allinone-2.27/tcl8.4.5/unix
:/usr/src/ns-allinone-2.27/tk8.4.5/unix
into your PATH environment; so that you'll be able to
run itm/tclsh/wish/xgraph.

IMPORTANT NOTICES:

(1) You MUST put /usr/src/ns-allinone-2.27/otcl-1.8,
/usr/src/ns-allinone-2.27/l
ib,
into your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
If it complains about X libraries, add path to
your X libraries
into LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
If you are using csh, you can set it like:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH <paths>
If you are using sh, you can set it like:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<paths>

(2) You MUST put
/usr/src/ns-allinone-2.27/tcl8.4.5/library into your
TCL_LIBRAR
Y environmental
variable. Otherwise ns/nam will complain during
startup.

(3) [OPTIONAL] To save disk space, you can now delete
directories tcl8.4.5
and tk8.4.5. They are now installed under
/usr/src/ns-allinone-2.27/{bin,inc
lude,lib}

After these steps, you can now run the ns validation
suite with
cd ns-2.27; ./validate

Can anyone tell me exactly how to?

For those who know NS2,
Where do i save the script for the program? whats ths path of it?

Also i need a QoS patch for my NS2. Anyone know from where?

Fingers crossed someone will read this !!!!!

Hi,
im using linux for the first time in order to do some coding in NS2(Network Simulator). At the end of the instal it asks me to move some files which i dont know how. These are the instructions below, could anyone possibly help?

Please put
/usr/src/ns-allinone-2.27/bin:/usr/src/ns-allinone-2.27/tcl8.4.5/unix
:/usr/src/ns-allinone-2.27/tk8.4.5/unix
into your PATH environment; so that you'll be able to
run itm/tclsh/wish/xgraph.

IMPORTANT NOTICES:

(1) You MUST put /usr/src/ns-allinone-2.27/otcl-1.8,
/usr/src/ns-allinone-2.27/l
ib,
into your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
If it complains about X libraries, add path to
your X libraries
into LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
If you are using csh, you can set it like:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH <paths>
If you are using sh, you can set it like:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<paths>

(2) You MUST put
/usr/src/ns-allinone-2.27/tcl8.4.5/library into your
TCL_LIBRAR
Y environmental
variable. Otherwise ns/nam will complain during
startup.

(3) [OPTIONAL] To save disk space, you can now delete
directories tcl8.4.5
and tk8.4.5. They are now installed under
/usr/src/ns-allinone-2.27/{bin,inc
lude,lib}

Also does anyone recommend a good book to learn linux for a newbie?

Thank you

You don't have to move any files, just edit your $PATH variable.
Do a search on that, you'll find the answer.

When i mentioned i was a newbie, i meant im really a NEW bie. How do i edit the path variables? And where do i search?

Im installing a Network Simulator (NS2) on linux and its asked me to move some files around. Could someoene please make sense of this and tell me what to do, this is for my final year project and i need to start programming.

Please put
/usr/src/ns-allinone-2.27/bin:/usr/src/ns-allinone-2.27/tcl8.4.5/unix
:/usr/src/ns-allinone-2.27/tk8.4.5/unix
into your PATH environment; so that you'll be able to
run itm/tclsh/wish/xgraph.

/usr/src/ns-allinone-2.27/l

into your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
If it complains about X libraries, add path to
your X libraries
into LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
If you are using csh, you can set it like:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH <paths>
If you are using sh, you can set it like:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<paths>

(2) You MUST put
/usr/src/ns-allinone-2.27/tcl8.4.5/library into your

cd ns-2.27; ./validate

If you know what to do then please tell me as im at my wits end.
Thank you.

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum, <or three times in the same forum for that matter>. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.

Hi fellows;
I'm having exactly the same problem, but when I do export PATH=.....

1. I can see with "set" that effectively they are added, but then I can't edit the code on my programs using "vim" so.. not much good, isn't it?

2. both before and after modifying the paths if I type ./ns prog1.tcl reports the following error:

wrong #args Should be "_o3 self class proc file"
(simulator namtrace-all line 1)
invoked from within "$ns namtrace-all $ nf"

Did you had this same problem,?
